I believe you can. I have a slightly different model (not infra red--I'm able to leave the area and still hear thru the headphones). Others watching television with me can use the customary volume setup that exists with the tv. Hope this helps!

Yes, all others can hear the TV at regular volume. Headset works by line of sight so anything between headphones and transmitter base will block sound to headphones. Headphones have their own volume. They are fantastic.

It is not bad. We use it in a room with other ambient noise so we don't notice it at all. In a super quiet room you may hear it.

I can hear it but it isnt so loud I cant hear the tv or have a conversation. It makes the same amout as sound as a fan.

On my Samsung TV I have mine plugged into the "Audio Out" outlet and others can hear the sound as well as the sound going through my BaseStation. On my other TV I have a BaseStation plugged into the sound system device and it blocks the sound for others in the room. So it's a matter of experimenting which plug works.

While you do hear the unit, it isn't loud at all and shouldn't interfere with tv. It's a bit like a small fan - not half the sound of an oven vent or a large electric fan.

I have these. I can move a little but if I turn away from the TV I lose the sound. As long as you mostly face the TV you can still hear.

Don't really know as I listen to TV in a 20X13 room. If you step out even 1 inch out of the room sound is lost.

I have mine in the playroom and away from anywhere we sit to watch tv. Noise for me is not an issue.

Yes, everyone else can still hear the TV at their level of volume, while a person hard of hearing uses the headphones. When my dad, who is completely deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other, wheres these headphones, we're able to have the volume to half the level my dad would need it to hear. There is a separate volume control on the headphones themselves, that the wearer can use to adjust the volume. Also, my dad has the transmitter behind the TV, and still works great.

Unless you are playing your music incredibly loud others in the room should not be able hear what you are listening to. My wife says she cannot hear anything I am listening to.

no noise at all -- I never notice that it's on. I currently have mine in the family room just under the TV.

If the TV has an audio out connection (usually a red and white set of RCA jacks) the answer is yes. You can still have the TV volume set for other listeners. If you want to silence the TV but still use the earphones, it is necessary to turn the TV volume down zero.

The sound is somewhat muted through the sheild but you can still hear it. You can use external speakers

on my tv I am able to so I imagine it works the same for all. When i use the headset I have to turn the volume down on the TV all the way so I only hear the TV through the headset.

If you mean noise around the room, not what you're listening to, then yes. It blocks out quite a bit of sound from around you.

Yes, you can watch TV with the Ecotunes Sound machine on, although you may want to turn off the "adaptive" feature which increases the sound when noise in the room amplifies, that could be a possible annoying situation. And yes it does work well in large rooms, if I turn the volume up I can even hear it in another room, it gets fairly loud, which is nice. Hope this helps! I love mine, I even bought the travel size so I never have to leave home without it.
